So if you are building muscles, you need to give those muscles a day of rest after you've worked them. So, even with cardio, if your muscles aren't strong (like some of us in the TDC), you should do it every other day, not daily. At least until you feel like your muscles are strong.

So for people who aren't yet doing strength training, it would be better to just do the cardio every other day, then, right? Then once your muscles are adapted to it, you could do the cardio 5 or 6 days a week.

I'm really just trying to understand all of this so that I can come up with a routine that really works for me. I've been doing the cardio (WAP) 5 days per week and I'm thinking that I should go to an every other day schedule, even if I don't start the strength training yet.

Does this make sense? Or am I not explaining it very well?
